“Today, my heart is shattered as I share the news that my beloved wife, Deborah, has passed away,” Finck’s husband Paul wrote in a post on his own Instagram grid. “After a brave and relentless five-year battle with cancer, she left this world peacefully, surrounded by love.”
Paul described his wife, who starred on the reality TV series Nanny 911 in the mid-2000s, as “my partner in every sense of the word—my confidant, my rock, the love of my life, and my eternal soul mate.”
“Together, we built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories I will cherish forever,” his post said. He added that Finck “poured her heart and soul” into raising the three sets of twins that they shared. “She was their greatest cheerleader, their guiding light, and their constant source of unconditional love,” he wrote. "Her impact on their lives is immeasurable, and her legacy will live on through them.”
Katerina, one of the couple’s daughters, also shared an emotional tribute to her mother on Instagram.
“To my mommy, my best friend, my sunshine—thank you for everything you’ve done for me,” Katerina’s tribute, which included a small collection of throwback photos of her mother, began. “You were the most beautiful mother and the best mommy anyone could ever ask for. You taught me strength, courage, bravery, and what it means to truly love and never give up. You believed in me, stood by me, and showed me the meaning of unconditional love.
“You will always be remembered, never replaced,” Katerina’s post continued. "You were the sunshine of my life, and every time I see a sunflower, I will know you are here with me. 🌻.”
